 July 25 2010  Comet Holmes Near M34 |
|
I recently went through and reprocessed some scans of film shots I've taken over the years, and came upon this one, taken on about January 1st, 2008 (and, yes, it was very cold here in rural Wisconsin). I like it because it shows the comet as I remember it actually looking through binoculars at the time: dim but definite. You can see M34 to the right of the comet, Algol below it and a bit to the left, and Mirfak and its U-shaped asterism in the upper left of the shot.
This is a slightly cropped scan from a Nikon F body with, I think, my 50mm f/1.4 lens, stopped down to my usual f/2.8. I would have been using Fuji 400 speed Provia film (I don't recall if it was 400F or 400X). The camera was piggybacked on a scope on my Orion Atlas EQ mount. |
